Lyrics:
Watch the gears grind off their teeth
The screeching halt machine digging heels in disbelief
Two reactional identities, opposing policies
A bait and switch routine.
Double takes and double speak
Still scripting the facade
Asphyxiate and choke the truth
All hail the money God
Repeat, echo, refrain
It’s all the same, so deafening
Repeat, echo, refrain
A consequence, we asked for this
Repeat, echo, refrain
No, never again
The American scream.
A coup de tat on full display, a liar’s sick charade
A traitor’s grand parade
Narcissistic masquerades for those without a say
Systematic disarray.
Divide and conquer and close them in and bury secrets deep
Make America hate again and bleed the sheep to sleep.
Repeat, echo, refrain
It’s all the same, so deafening
Repeat, echo, refrain
A consequence, we asked for this
Repeat, echo, refrain
No, never again
The American scream.
You try to pick the lesser of
But evil doesn’t come in twos
Bellicose and balkanized
A sinking ship of fools
So kiss the hangman as you drop
The rotting corpse of decency
Just another casualty of the American scream.

All i can say is being a metalhead in this era is a damn treat, all these wonderful bands releasing new music one after one man
True. Some amazing metal bands releasing some amazing tracks, NeObs, Belakor, Slipknot and LoG.
August Burns Red put out a new song today too!
@@EpiphoneShredzzzzz Hell yes, would love to see a LoG and ABR tour someday.
Disentomb new album was so good too
As i lay dying too
*God damn those riffs are pure gold*
Please cover it. PLEASE.
Ben Sunny Isaac he probably did already cmon
Gonna have this done by the weekend? Tomorro maybe??
Cover please!
Always man... /w\LOG/w\
randy's vocals are still as good as they were on ashes of the wake, unreal
sadly he is the only one who does it like Ashes.... new songs are boring compared to ashes
I remember really enjoying LOG in HS, but being a bit intimidated by Randy's intense vocals. Fast forward today and LOG is still one of my favorite band but my respect for Randy's vocals grew exponentially. He really is a master of his craft and melds perfectly with the rest of the group. Not to mention they all seem like humble and down to earth guys. Top 3 modern metal bands w/o question for sure.
Ashes of the Wake vox topped this by far. His highs don't sound the same in these more recent couple albums. Still good shit, but it seems like he's trying to save his vocal chords lol prolly because he went so fuckin' hard on earlier albums. Shit was nasty in New American Gospel, great stuff. I know people say his vox are more refined now, but the older albums just seemed way more fucking brutal.
This guy has been belting out guterals for over 3 decades that would make Satan shake in his boots
@@pollutedcrimson it's rare to find someone who can make Satan shit his pants. Randy is one of the sacred few 🤘
Some folks bitchin about Chris being gone . Man did what he had to . I think the new guys doing great . I say let's be glad we still have LOG .
I met Chris in Brighton, UK in Feb 2019. He seemed in good spirits working the merch of all things!
Yea he is good. Well it was Chris who recommend Art Cruz to LOG.
I love this new drummer as he nailed every song.
Mike still their on the drums, same singer too. Look how old ass the guitar player is, looks like a grand daddy
people on the internet like to add drama even when everything's fine
Everyone can be good on track but what about live
as much as I'll miss Adler, we still have the OG gang alive and well and for that I'm grateful. Great song, cant wait for a new album. Been a fan since 1999!!
Lousy song. Fake fan can't see past the bullshit.
You're either jasdave or nobody. Saskatchewan LOG fan in 1999? GBYMC yo!
Did Adler die or did I miss that?
Chris is the OG gang LMAO. Technically Willie is not an original member.
@@youcantdrive8138 i stopped following after sacrament . as the palaces burn and new american gospel are the goat's .
The perfect song for drowning out the sound of kids in the kitchen arguing about who gets the last bagel.
Drowning kids over a bagel is pretty harsh parenting dude
@@Brett-yq7pj frigg off Lahey
Why can't they each have half?
Frig Off yea turn the music down and take care of the kids handle it then turn it back up. work before play
Ouch! Reading replies, I think that was metaphorical. Hum, maybe accidentally haha.
This song makes me want to look up and down before crossing a road
😁😂😂😂
Lol
Way to be a sheep.....
So youre suicidal since you didnt look left or right?
Niiiiiice lmao
This song is about the deceptive times we live in. Great lyrics, great song
Obligatory crying comment about how Chris Adler isn’t drumming.
Seriously. Track is awesome. Can’t wait for the album!
Awesome track.
I saw art cruz this summer with lamb of god and this guy kick ass
a million bands blow these assholes away lol....just type thrash metal full album ull see
Danny Dircio I definitely understand. I miss Chris too. But so many automatically dismissing this because he isn’t on it is garbage.
AphroditesCrush Lamb of God not to mention Chris Adler is on a complete different level. No denying that. It’s fact. There’s rock & roll, thrash metal, heavy metal, then you have lamb of god. But this track is epic. Reminds me of ‘as the palace burns’
The fact that Art is wearing that shirt can't be an accident. Safe travels to Chris, welcome aboard Art! May 8th can't get here quick enough!
Joseph Foster have to say that L.O.G isn’t missing anything with this guy behind the kit. Chris is legendary but this guy grooves for real.
This song makes me want to step on grass where it specifically says not to.
This song makes me want to leave a comment.
Same
YOU MADLAD
Let no one stop you
😂
🤣
"This song sounds too much like a typical Lamb of god song." Imagine thinking a band sounds too much like itself and that means it's bad.
This track kicks ass, by the way. Can't wait for the album to drop.
These people are ungrateful. We should all be happy that they didn’t take the huge misstep that Machine Head did.
Its bad when it sounds nearly exactly like other songs they have.
@@dna448
Not if you like those songs
Darkbring3r not for nothing but yeah not expanding on your sound gets boring and it can certainly be a bad thing, I don’t think that applies to LOG tho, people should know what they’re getting with them
@@ZeroMilk so you youre saying you want them to just make the same song over and over again?
I love the vocals and the song is beast and can’t wait to hear the rest
second this
So many maggots in this comment section, loving it
LoG’s Maggot HELL YEAH. The maggot family🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@LogsMaggot u said somethin bout Maggots?? Hahaha
Perfect mix of Harmony and Brutality. I get chills everytime I hear something new of theirs.
Album of the year. Welcome back Lamb Of God
Definitely a massive album, but the year has huge releases competing. The new Trivium and the new Avatar are both excellent, Gojira is going to release an album, and that new Sepultura is insane.
@@andreaseverin1346 Avatar is trash. Trivium haven't evolved their sound since Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation
@@snipesMcgipes25 Maybe they haven't ever topped A Gunshot, but the only thing they did since Ascendancy is change styles.
@@snipesMcgipes25 this is entirely false. Triviums sound has evolved tremendously and they perfected it with the sin and the sentence .
It’s hard moving on without Chris, but this sound helps me realize I can. Lamb of God is back! ❤️
Ewolf5150 I like Lamb of Gods’ sound; their very distinct sound - minus The Duke. I want new music, but not a new Lamb of God.
@Ewolf5150 very much agree, bro. i believe this was one of the reasons Chris was pushed out of the band.
@Ewolf5150 generic LOG is still better than 90% of bands out there
Yeah it's definitely noticeably different with regard to the percussion/rhythm. Chris Adler is very jazzy for a metal player, was kne of my favorite elements of LOG's sound. Mark/Willie still throwing down awesome guitar riffs, though.
From a drummers standpoint, it isn't really the style of playing that's too different, it's how it sounds. Chris usually kept things very tight, tuned high, with a quick decay. It was a hallmark of the Lamb of God sound, not to say that this is bad by any means, the difference is just very noticeable. Nonetheless, very excited to see where the band goes from here.
Most of what you said I agree with, but one thing you're definitely 110% incorrect about is that Chris tuned high.

This sounded equally as good as most of the rest of their songs to me. Not bad but not memorable, seems like a filler song but they released it as a single and made a music video for it on accident
Got the generic core drum sound now
this sounds very similar to Chris's drumming in the Sturm und Drang album. really damn close to it if not spot on
Sometimes the moon and the stars align and bands like this are created!
Pure american metal, this is masterpiece Randy is beast !!
Damian czcams.com/video/0cvgJqaPMy0/video.html I can do better then he 🤘🏻. Check this out
@@Sergterra14 You really can't, mate
Jesse Saario check the video, I Think you change your mind. I really like Lamb Of God, but Randy’s vocals skills (especially in live) is suck((
I did and I stand by my comment
@@Sergterra14 its good but i like randy´s better
"A consequence, we asked for this"
This is very true man.
What a year for music... what a time to be alive...
2020 will follow a great 2019 for metal... fuck yeah! \mm/
So glad they haven’t tried to change the sound “because that’s not who they are now”. Classic lamb of god sound, love it!
My faith in music has been restored.
Last year Tool, this year Lamb of God.
IT HURTS to see Chris is no longer here, BUT Art seems to be legit and I welcome him and hope for the best!
I'm just glad that they split amicably :)
...totally agree
You think he's legit? Thank God. Now we can all enjoy the track.
@@welp3904 Oh, James.
@@MarkArandjus kissy face
He sounds like he's killing it based on this track alone. Can't wait!
Definitely sounds like "wrath" era lamb of god
Wrath was better. This track wouldnt be a single on wrath.
@@beau5296 💔💔
That is exactly what i thought while listening
Sounds like every era of Lamb of God
Sounds a bit like sturm and drang
The way randy belts..is out of this world..chris is phenomenal drummer..but this new guy is going to go far...I love this band..they've gotten me threw some rough times..glad that they are still kicking ass..super stoked for this album
This band is a blessing! What a beuitfull film clip!
God bless the Lamb that feeds us! God loves them like a aging old Oak Tree!
Let's get Lamb of God trending!!!!
yeah
@leavescars96 Well not everything on trending is bad. Athlean x is really good
Getting some SERIOUS Ashes of the Wake vibes here.
SAME DUDE! I love it
This song didn’t remind me anything of Ashes Of The Wake. All their older material is way better than what has been released since 2010 imo
@@benpotter2399 in my opinion, they havent put out anything bad. Some albums I like more than others ,but there's nothing I don't like from this band.
What song did you guys listen to? Definitely not this one, because the only album this sounds close to is Resolution.
Vincent Cabrera yeah. I just think the older stuff is better but I’m not trying to completely say anything newer is shit. Their style has changed a bit. I thought with this new drummer the old lamb of god would have come back.
I mean, i've grown up listening to chris adler and joey jordison drumming, but this is quite sick, fits amazingly well.. sick song, hyped for the album.
Perfect as always... The epitome of metal.
All we needed was the return of groovy metal king.
along with *_Pantera *👍👈_*
Serhat Murat Asbit you do realise half of Pantera is dead?
@@fatcatflubber4868 And it's the founders who died
@leavescars96 I disagree Pantera is fantastic, but Lamb of God is better.
@leavescars96 Ah well in that case I totally agree!
To the people complaining:
1. Chris Adler is gone, accept that. Art is a good drummer, not as influential as Chris, bcs Chris been in the game for so long, Art is relatively young. And Chris himself chose him as a temporary replacement, and the band chose him. They know their music best, and what kind of drummer they like, so shut up and enjoy the music.
2. Lamb of God have already hit their peak in the ATPB, AOTW and Sacrament era. They have their trademark riffs, drum fills and vocals, its their signature sound that makes them as big as they are now. They're not an experimental, progressive metal band who change their sound drastically for each album, what more can you expect besides badass riffs, growling vocals and groovy beats? Clean vocals? More acoustic stuff? Its their style, they just modernize their sound, you cant expect more from them. Hell even Slayer mostly have the same beats and riff style in each of their songs and they're undoubtly a legend.
I get it that y'all love Lamb of God and miss Chris Adler, but the fact that they're still hungry enough to drop new music and the music is not bad at all (it's actually good), we should be thankful for that.
I wonder how long til willie packs up and leaves? Cant say youll arent waiting for it to happen either. Just a matter of time I suppose.
So first its not that Chris isn't with them its about the way it happened to kick a brother out of a band that's been around for over 20yrs and he was a founding member and do kick him due to wanting to change up their sound (wich they should) then come back,not knowing that they decided to keep new drummer an not move forward with u? That's dirty and bullshit. Their music is stale why would u keep go in if all ur gonna do is write recycled material? That isn't any. Then u go to a show to hear lamb and u get the new carp? Wtf man nah they might as well have hung it up an just played the material they have . its a band that started out in 6th gear and didn't have no where to go. They are bad ass musicians and has never evolved? Their new material isn't new. Don't u get sick of constant double bass with the same riffs over it, with the same vocal paterns? That's not boring to u? Its all the same shit. They can keep there signature sound and still branch out to new material those dude can play anything on guitar but choose to do the same thing. They've already made it yrs ago what's the harm in getting creative and changing ur style a bit and start writing music for ur self instead of "what the fans are used too" real fans will never leave they are just scared of that and don't wanna change it up at least from outside view that's what it seems. So yeah the was they did Adler was bullshit and speaks volumes of what kind of people they actually are. Pretty sad
@@jcreature11 oh so you exactly know what actually happened between Chris and the band? Dude, I'm sure no one outside the band, the management, and the circle around the band know exactly what happened. They're grown ass men, they don't just kick out someone who's been in the band since day one without any agreement from both parties. What if Chris was the one who wanted to leave and forced his way out? What if Chris did something horrible that pissed each one of the band's member (Willie included)? Dont make it like the band sacrifice Chris for Art, it cant be that simple, theres something in it WE DONT KNOW. Even in an interview, Chris said that he and Willie were having some difficult time after he left the band, and he said it happens between siblings. You see? It can be the band's fault that Chris left, but it also can be Chris' fault. Its 4 vs 1 damn.
And about the new music sounding boring. Okay please tell me how would you improve their sounds? What would you add to their current formula? I mean i agree that theres nothing new in their recent releases, but idk what needs to change to make Lamb of God sound fresh. They've released their "dark" sounding album in Sacrament. They've released their raw political with tons of riffs in Ashes of the Wake. They've set their signature sound foundation in As the Palaces Burn. They've released their thrashier album in Wrath. They've experimented with clean vocals and more complex song structures in Resolution and Sturm und Drang. I mean what do you expect them to do from now on? To be more experimental and progressive? Sure, there will be different people complaining. You cant please everyone. Im sure they make music for themselves first, its not like they try to play it safe, its just they've hit their peak. Theyre done making game changing records. Accept that.
@@adrianresa_ research bruh it was said in a couple interviews strait from the man himself.
Well said buddy!!! 🤛🤛🤘🤘
These guys still killin it. This is one of the best metal songs ever.

Stephan JAMEY JASTA????
And his name is Art Cruz,absolute badass. So happy to see him with LoG and I’m excited to see all he’s contributed to this record.
He's a perfect fit!!
This is one of my fav album of lamb of God. True it's a wake up call vibes..
This new drummer is phenomenal to fit so well with this band that we love. The only thing that I feel would have been different with Chris on this track is those signature double base drum spurts that are super fast for just a second or 2 every here and there. It’s a little thing but it makes a difference.
This song makes me want to break into my neighbors house toast all their bread and leave
Alex R hahahahaha
You’re like the fourth person I seen say that.
lmaooo 😂😂
Ha stealing comments. Ha comedt
DO IT
I love seeing Randy with glasses. I call him Poppa Randy.
Lol hell yes
I envy the grandkids that will eventually actually get to call him Poppa Randy
He looks like a metrosexual feminist with the glasses on.
Riffs are always stellar by these guys.
Two of the baddest guitar players out there
Awesome can't wait for more! Love you guys. Pure American Metal.
Stellar song. Can't wait to hear more🤘🤘
Lamb of God I love you favourite band ever since 2004. You made me learn to play guitar and I can now play along to most songs. My first tattoo was Ashes of the Wake and now I am covered probably 50% of my whole body! You changed my life 🤘
I don't always listen to LOG; but when I do, so do the neighbors
Lol!
Gee..never heard this comment before on any metal song
Sharing is caring!!
Same same like me......
I’m thanking the lord I’m still alive to hear another LOG song. Great-full the band is doing well and heavier than ever
Not heavier then ever by a long shot. Go back and listen to new American gospel for fucks sake
I've been waiting to see how Art Cruz was going to step out of Chris' shadow and lay down his own beats....... Well f@%king done!
I was thinking the same thing. Im a huge chris fan. And was very skeptical when I found out art was taking his spot. Don't get me wrong arts a great drummer and can plays chris,s stuff no problem. I was just curious if he would try to copy chris. Or bring his style. And i think he's done great. You can hear a little bit of Chris. Because he was a influence on Art. But I say fuck the haters.
So it begins!!! Thrilled
Lamb of God never disappoints, I swear!
Ive been a fan of lamb of god for 13 years. When i first listened to some of their songs, i was scared as shit. Imagine that jump from korn and other nu metal bands to this kind of music. Even though i was scared i managed to keep listening to it and eventually really began to get hooked on LOG. Afterwards, i began to listen to other metalcore bands. Ex:unearth, Killswitch. Then i wanted something heavier and ended up listening to cannibal corpse, then dying fetus, then cattle decap, then exhumed, then disgorge. When i discovered black metal i couldnt stop listening to it;it totally changed my world. So i began to listening to heavier and heavier music all thanks to lamb of god. Lamb of god is a very unique and versatile band and keep coming back to them. I welcome their new drummer with open arms. I didn't like the new song at first, but after many listens i now have high hopes for this album. I believe in LOG's potential. They are very talented musicians. All hail lamb of god \m/
🤘
I knew it was coming up!!! YES
Awesome guitar and drum tracks
Love listening to LOG in the morning drinking my coffee before going out to work.
Killer Riffs!
I love how Art is wearing a shirt that says "Mind your business." Probably in anticipation of all the haters in the comments lol
🤘😎
eye like him already!
Sad!
This drummer is the perfect match.
David Smith You know it bro. Chris said himself, he doesn’t paint by the numbers so apparently the label was pushing them hard to get some new material out. I stand behind his decision and I also stand behind LOG!! Amazing musicians!!
Little known fact, American currency actually said Mind Your Business up until the cold war. Then it was changed to In God We Trust
That ending is epic..... Killer tune. ..Keep that sheet coming.
Love the grammar choice in these lyrics on this album 👌🔥❤️
A breath of fresh air 🔥🔥🔥
So after testing it, yes this song kicks ass for back, shoulders, and arm day.
Whitechapel🤘
@@kennethj.mccrosson3002 hell yeah man, hometown #615
You better test it for leg day as well.
@@MadnessOpus but.....that's my George Clinton day.....I needs muh funk.
I'll see how it does on legs tomorrow morning
Killer tune Great lyrics🤘
Everything is so tight and on point!!!!! Loving it
I can't preorder this album fast enough. Really dig Art Cruz's drumming on this track too.
This music video looks like a Concert DVD menu on loop. Must not have had a big budget. Lol
I recognize the style for sure, just saw Dream Theater a couple of months ago and their entire show had a storyboard playing in this exact same artistic style and animation style...if not the same person, it is the same program and formula for sure.
Yall have become legendary!!
First time I have been drawn in to a Lamb of God song! Bad ass!
Testament, Sylosis and Lamb of Good releasing new shit within a week... 2020 will be a good year :)
Eminem, A7X, LoG all good new music, although A7X isn't a new album just a remaster of DitR
Black Dahlia Murder as well
2020 is so far so good for metal...hoping we get a new gojira album top...2019 ended good too with new fleshgod apocalypse and cattle decapitation tho
@@hersheypants731 we will get a new gojira album, mario confirmed subtly in instagram comments
And Sepultura
Bad Brains are written all over Randy’s growls. It’s this way with every Lamb of God song I’ve listened to in the past, and it still going strong to this day. Not to mention the insane instrumental blues influence in this particular song among the rest of their catalogue.
Never disappointed in anything LOG has put out. And again another banger.
This song is so good! It just kicking ass!!!🤘🤘🤘💥💥💥💣💣💣
I showed this song to my lamb, and now he’s a god!
I didn't know Chris had left until I read all these moaning comments about it not being the same blah blah blah. The songs amazing as are the drums. Get over yourselves and stop bashing a great musician doing a great job on a great new song.
Losers always do that man. I have listened to this band since 8th grade and never thought twice about a drummer.
If you were listening for a drummer, the are hundreds of better ones.
The overall band is what i hear
Right?
@@andrewisjesus TRIGGERED
I love the blues flavor that this brings forward!
Epic & Amazing.
Finally, Lamb of Jesus has some new material
I think Randy Blythe’s voice sounds like his actual natural voice than other artists using way too much artificial voice.
They have the best metal riffs ever.
Hell, yeah, I added this one to my workout playlist.
Randy sounds amazing!
I think Art is doing a fine job. He had some of biggest shoes in metal to fill... and he owned it. No, it doesn't sound like Chris, and you can hear the differences in their styles. But who wants a Chris copy? This band is at the height/pinnacle of their career and their drummer bails and leaves them. I've had to replace drummers in my own band and believe me, it sucks. They moved forward... as a fan since 2004, I'm gonna move forward with them.
Todd Davey i think Lamb of god could have got Joey Jordison or Dave McClain or Chris Pennie- would have been good choices ahead of Art. In Joey - they would have got a great songwriter and a fucking awesomely groovy drummer
@@Grimeyhoob Joey jordison ?! are you out of your mind lmao
"drummer bails" .... he literally said he had no choice in the decision.
@@bce5150 He did bail. He still plays drums. The accident hasn't stopped that. He just doesn't enjoy playing in LOG anymore. Period. Chris Adler: "The truth is that, I am unwilling to paint by numbers.”
“There is an ambiguous concept in our world of ‘selling out’,” Adler continued. “I cannot define that outside of my personal understanding, but know that being trapped in a ‘creative’ formula and/or playing the same song 10,000 times did not bolster my love of playing. I’ve never been one to ‘phone it in’. I’d rather mow the grass.”
@@HippiefishtokeChirs Adler - "I did not make the decision to leave my life's work" and then "I was not given a choice in this."
I love Marks guitar work.. wow...
LOG is life. I love LOG.
Wow this is an awesome song !
Fans: "where's Chris?!"
New dude: "let me refer you to my shirt."
DAMN I LOVE THIS
Love this song!! Can't wait to see you guys October 31!!!
low budget video, high quality music
It is so that people spent less time watching and more time listening🤘🤘🤘
Oh HELL YES!! 🤘😈🥁
Heavy! Lyrically and musically
My neighbors have a great taste in music and even more so since this song. It’s the main thing we agree on! 😎
Beautiful timing gentlemen
I think it sounds really good, glad they are back. Long time fan!
One of my favorites bands since I'm was 16 and today I'm 21 and still good as they was in the previous albums that's why they so successful and good at what they doing
The vocals are unreal🤘
Holy shit this is so good
"A coup d'état on full display" is the correct way of spelling this french expression.
